Hi! Don't know if this the right place for this question.... here it goes... Can you install the pixelcade software to raspberry pi without a frontend such as retropie. I am trying to just use the pixelcade software on my cab that is using a jamma board from pandora's box dx. I would like to install the software on my raspberry pi running Raspberry Pi OS with desktop. This will allow me to write an HTML script to have the pixelcade cycle though different marquees simular to running on windows. I am usign a pi3 maybe eventually a pi zero 2w. I am looking for just the to use the pixelcade art browser.
Thanks,
Daniel
Hey Daniel, yes you can do that. It's not tested as much but the installer script does have a scenario where retropie is not detected. Note that Pixelcade does not integrate with Pandora though.
Great!
What version os can I do this with and do i just run the install script on the pixelcade.org website? I tried to run that link on my pi running pi os buster 64 bit desktop but it wouldn't install I got a "Sorry, neither Linux Stretch, Linux Buster, or Ubuntu were detected"
Maybe am doing something wrong or using the wrong os bit version? I can give more details if needed.
Thanks
I removed the OS check logic in the script, give it another shot
@pixelcade-admin will do this weekend and will let you know! thanks!
@pixelcade-admin I am using the
curl -LO pixelcade.org/pi/setup-alu.sh && chmod +x setup-alu.sh && ./setup-alu.sh
But I am still getting the "Sorry, neither Linux Stretch, Linux Buster, or Ubuntu were detected, exiting..."
Should I be running a different path for the setup file?
Also I realized that am running os bullseye sorry...
Also ran the retro pi script and got this..
curl -kLO -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alinke/pixelcade-linux/main/installer-scripts/setup-retropie.sh && chmod +x setup-retropie.sh && ./setup-retropie.sh
